*1 About playing copy-controlled CDs

Some copy-controlled CDs may not conform to official CD standards. They are special discs and may not play on the PDR-155.

*2 About playing CD-R/CD-RW discs

This unit can play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in CD Audio or Video CD formats, as well as discs that contain MP3 audio files. However, there may be some discs that cannot be played back with this unit. This limitation may be due to incomplete disc finalization; the characteristics of the recorder; disc characteristics, damage, or stains; or condensation or stains on the pickup lens of this unit. For details, please refer to the recorder’s instruction manual.

■Non-playable discs

•You cannot play back discs other than those listed above.

•You cannot play discs such as CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-Audio, Photo CD, CD-G etc., even if the marks in the above table are labeled on those discs.

•The PDR-155 uses the PAL/NTSC color system, and cannot play back DVD videos recorded in any other color system (SECAM, etc.).

•Avoid using heart-shaped or octagonal discs. Playing irregularly-shaped discs may damage the internal mechanism of the DVD AV Controller.

•Do not use discs that have residue from adhesive tape, rental discs that have peeling labels, or discs that have custom labels or stickers. Otherwise, you may not be able to eject the discs, or the DVD AV Controller may become inoperative.

Some DVD videos specify a region number, which is used to limit the area where the videos can be viewed.

If you try to play a disc with a region number other than those listed on PDR-155’s rear panel, the system will display the message “Wrong Region No.,” indicating that the disc cannot be played.
